1-0

He won The 2018 African Individual Chess Championship in Livingstone Zambia with one round to spare..! 7.5pts out of 8 Rounds were good enough to seal the 1st place Gold position…

In the 9th and Last Round Open Section Board 1… Egyptian GM Dr Bassem Amin 7.5pts played Zambia’s IM Gillian Bwalya 5pts. . The GM had won the event already with this last round game to spare.

GM Bassem’s words; " Happy to defend the title and to win the tournament for the 5th time (2009, 2013, 2015, 2017, 2018)" 😊

Meanwhile our own Zimbabwe’s Zhemba Jemusse finished on 4points. He gained the much needed exposure in this tough shark infested hunting ground.
